I THE CANAL TREATY
The Colombian Senate Unanimous Y
Rejected It
Washington Aug UA tabtcgrai
dated August 12 has been received a t
the stato department from Mlnlstc r
Ilcauprc at Bogota saying that th 0
Panama canal treaty has been rojectct
by tho Colombian senate Presldcn t
Roosevelt was Immediately ndvjsjtdo t
tho news Mr Bcatiprcs telegram be
Ing forwarded by Acting Secrotarj P
Loomis to Oyster Day
Tho reason given for the rcjectioV
of tho treaty by the Colombian 1 sen
ale It Is said here was the allege
encroachment on Colombian sover
elgnty which Us opponents contended
would result from tho treaty Thlf
Informatlun was contained In a die
patch received Monday night by Dr
Horrcn tho Colombian charge from
Foreign Minister Rlcos at Bogota
This dispatch showed that In its pros
ent form the treaty was absolutely un
acceptable to tho scnatoifor the rca
Don nbovo stated and that it had been
rejected unanimously The vjcw taken
by the scnato was at variance to that
held by the government ot Colombia
which felt satisfied when It submitted
tho treaty to conftrtss that there
would be no Impairment of Colombian
sovereignty If the treaty should bo
ratifiedIncidentally
Incidentally to limo general question
ot sovereignty necessary was that ot
lease of tho strip ot land through
which the canal was to be constructed
and tho debate In tho Colombian sen
ate Indicated that that body regarded
this ns amounting to a sale of the land
therefore objectionable When the
treaty was submitted to tho senate by
tho committee to which It was refer
red seven of the senators favored It
with certain amendments which they
proposed and tho remaining two op
posed It absolutely Tho amendment
proposed by tho majority arc not slat
ed here but they evidently referred
to mho question of sovereignty as Is
Indicated by the subsequent rejection 1
of the treaty In its present form
colon Colombia Aug 18The re
jection of the canal treaty by the Co
lomblan senate has produced tremen
dpus excitement on the isthmus It
was generally believed that the treaty
would pass with some modifications
There Is good reason to suppose that
tho majority of the members of tho
senate regard tho Spooner amendment
to build a canal by tho Nicaraguan
route It the Panama route was reject
ed byfColombla as a mere threat on
jthOport ot th United States They <
arc convinced that the Nicaragua
project Is luposslblo and that the
United States will again deal with Co
lombla
The rejection Is a heavy blow to
property owners hero who have been
Investing heavily on the prospects of
the treatys being ratified
